i was trying to install this software on my N800 so i can boot from the card inside the N800 i dont know if it was card1 or card2 any way this is what i did and what i got:

Code:
ds@Central:~/initfs_flasher$ sudo ./initfs_flash

 === Flasher for initfs with onscreen bootmenu ===

For safe flashing please do the following:

- close all aplications (to free available RAM and prevent system crash)
- disconnect from network (to prevent system crash)
- make sure you have at least 5MB free disk space in flasher directory
- make sure you know how to reflash device in usual way if this fails

Are you sure to continue? (yes/no) : yes

Create backup of current initfs (yes/no) : yes
mount: special device /dev/mtdblock3 does not exist
 *** creating initfs.orig.jffs2 ...
/home/ds/initfs_flasher/mkfs.jffs2: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
umount: initfs: not mounted
ls: initfs.orig.jffs2: No such file or directory
Press enter to continue

Part 1 - Preparing initfs.bootmenu.jffs2 image
 *** copying current initfs ...mount: special device /dev/mtdblock3 does not exist
umount: mnt: not mounted
 done.
If you remove extra stuff you may write to initfs and customize bootmenu.
Remove unneeded extra (and factory testing) stuff? (yes/no) : yes
 *** removing extra stuff ...
cut: initfs/etc/initfs_version: No such file or directory
 !!! unknown initfs version , cannot install bootmenu
Cannot find initfs.bootmenu.jffs2, something failed, nothing flashed.
ds@Central:~/initfs_flasher$
sorry i dont know much about technical things . . . i'm just a normal user but looking forward to learn more and more

thanx
